Boy on the Way!

I am excited to write more in my Journal. I started writing in my Journal on my mission to Finland in 1998 and was pretty faithful writing for two years. After I got home I have been touch and go and haven't written as much as I wanted to. This may help me a little more because it is easier for me to type. I think it is easier to people to read my handwriting in a Blog journal than in my handwriting. Although it may lose a little personal appeal that comes with handwriting.

My life now gets more and more exciting as it goes on and I am excited to have my first kid here in a few months. The due date of June 28 is coming up fast and I think I am as ready as I can be. I have definitely gained more respect for Lindsay and women in general for the hard time that pregnancy can be..>> Guys have it easy... Just trips to the store is the extent of our tough times in Pregnancy. Pregnancy can be fun because I get to gain sympathy pounds and eat more things that I may not. I have also had allot of cravings for Ice Cream for the last few months.

The first birth I ever saw was my sister giving birth to her first child Jaden and that was an adventure. I arrived towards the end of her labor and found myself peaking inside the door of her room close to the birth. As my sister screamed loud and was "pushing" towards the finish I began to get nauseous and light headed. So I had to leave and head down the hall towards the bathroom because I thought I was going to hurl. With that as a preface I think I will do better this time as Lindsay goes into labor because I know what to expect and will be more prepared.. Hopefully.

I am excited to be a dad and know that it will be the most important responsibility I will ever have. It is a humbling experience taking responsibility for another life but I have had a great examples of a father that I know I will have to follow.
